(1) New Moon - When the Moon is roughly in the same direction as the Sun, its illuminated half is facing away from the Earth, and therefore the part that faces us is all dark: we have the new moon. When in this phase, the Moon and the Sun rise and set at about the same time.

Anyone else see the problem with the YouTuber's story?
Erm, with all due respect, wouldn't it depend where the youtube poster was located? North America is not the only place on Earth and I know for a fact that where I am we get the new moon about 12 hours before New York and 16 hours before LA, so this in fact could be the New Moon seen from the other side of the world to you! Ever heard of Pacific Islands, Australia, Asia, Middle East, Europe or Africa? They all are hours ahead of America!

Erm, with all due respect, what does any of this have to do with the Moon's position relative to the Sun?

:face palm:
Ever hear of the fact that the Earth rotates in just 24 hours, making 1 day?
Ever hear of the fact that the moon takes 28 DAYS to rotate?
Ever hear of the fact that the moon take 28 DAYS to orbit the Earth?
Ever hear of the fact that it is physically IMPOSSIBLE to have a New Moon on a certain date, but have a full moon only hours before or after?
The only thing that could be possible is that hours prior to the new moon, someone in China might see a very, very, small sliver of the moon, and the same goes for someone in China AFTER the New Moon.
Don't have to take my word for it. If you can, look at the moon today, it's a waxing crescent with only 10% shining. Ask someone on here that is many time zones away from you to look at the moon too, either before you see it, or after, depending on the person's time zone from you.
Guess what they'll see?
A waxing moon with close to 10% shinning.

I am not trying to prove or disprove whether this a fleet of space craft, birds or CGI! I do not even care whether it was a new, blue or cheese moon! My point was that whilst its Sept 14th in the USA it is Sept 15th in other parts of the world. Therefore, it is conceivable that a video could be shot of the moon in a different part of the world and uploaded onto youtube (using usa time it could show that the video is uploaded on 14th Sept).

Thanks for making it more clear. I don't think the one-day discrepancy was ever a serious issue -- it was the two WEEKS mismatch of the claimed date [give or take a day] and the obvious moon phase in the video.

You stated 'This vid was NOT shot last night! It is a New Moon today'
I was just explaining (rudely perhaps, my apologies) how it could have been shot in another part of the world, where it was nightime on 15th September but still the 14th in the USA.

That video looks so fake and cheesy.
Its not very well done CGI.
I think it is a failed hoax because it is not going viral
and the person who created the hoax is desperate to promote it.
